Character Sheet Help
[/u][/color]Summy:[/u][/color] [/center]
These are just ideas, you can use this if you wish to. This is a Topic just to help you
If you wish for more help, post in the game chat section, pm a member that you feel would know a few things about their character sheet. Or of course you could pm a member of staff.
For your character sheet, try and be as detailed as you possible can, give as much information as you want, you could add some pets, non playable characters, relationship sections, pictures, coloured text. Anything you feel will make it stand out.
We all know it gets a bit hard, trying to come up with what to put in your character sheet, so here a small template to get you started, but if you still feel it doesn't help, try looking at other people's character sheets for help, but do not copy what they have written.
Note: Not everything is included in this template; you will need to use your own creative skills as well.

Character Sheet Tips
[/u][/color]Sometimes we find it very hard to come up with added details for our characters, it could be music, fun facts, strengths and weaknesses. But what I’ve found is that people really have a hard time writing a good piece of history to go along with all the details. So here are some helpful tips for anything you may have a problem with:
Tips:[/u][/color] [/center]
- Try and be as creative as you can. Sometimes, history that has been written in a matter of ten minutes isn’t always the best read.
- Spelling and grammar is a must! If you think you might have missed something, feel free to ask a staff member/normal member to proof read your work, sometimes two eyes are better than one.
- Try not to repeat yourself too much.
- Don’t use someone else’s history or idea’s, unless you really want to get stabbed in the back.
- The more the information you give, the more your character sheet will get feedback. And I know that sounds silly, but if you take a look at other people’s character sheets (I’ve created a list in the next post listed good cs’s) you will notice how people have written so much detail their character sheet is the highlight of the CS board and is always on the front page.
- If you think you can’t do anymore, post what you have and say something like ‘To be Continued’ – ‘WIP’ – ‘More Coming Soon’ – It keeps your readers around to read the rest of the story.
- Try not to copy the idea of your newest television show you are obsessed about, 1: You can get into deep trouble. 2: Its not really your own ideas. 3: Its not creative, its just being lazy.
- And this is a must! Try not to make 3+ character sheets every other week, that gets annoying and remember the staff have to clean up this place all the time. So help us keep it tidy.
- Use header/footers images! And colours! They always make your character sheet nice looking, but try not to make your images too big.
- Try not to copy other people's styles, we understand theres not much to go by when it comes to cs layouts, but some people can get rather touchy when it comes to you taking ideas from them without even asking.
Stuck on History?:
[/u][/color] [/center]Heres a list of things that might help you:
- Was your chanter rich/poor?
- Wanting to run from home?
- Seeking an adventure?
- Was abused at one point?
- Kidnapped?
- Lonely?
- Did their Parents die?
- Did they do something back home and needed to escape.
- Past lives?
- Lost the love of their life?
These are all little things that maybe you could use. But try not to really copy them, embrace them and create something that is your own.
Pictures:
[/u][/color] [/center]All I really have to say is, if you’re going to use pictures, don’t cover your character sheet up with them! After all even if you think it would help your readers know about your character’s looks more, links out to the pictures is so much easier and much more organized.
Non-Playable Character’s:
[/u][/color] [/center]Although you have your character and people join your thread, you can actually create someone that comes with your story. These characters are called ‘Non-Playable Characters’, they are people in your story that you’ve created to help along the plotline and unless you’ve said people can use them, you’re the only person who is able to use/move/etc. Never create another account to hold one of your non-playable’s, its best to just put a section in your character sheet to show your readers who they are, give them a bit of history, tell them their age/race/birthplace and of course give them skin/history if you wish. Here is an example of such a thing:
Sayo White Wolf is Owned by Angelique White Wolf & The White Wolf Family! Anyone Found Using Her Without My Permission Will Be in Deep Trouble!
Sayo White Wolf
| Nicknamed: Say Say; Miss Neko; Cat Women | Aged: 20 | [/center]
Sayo is Angel’s daughter and best friend. They first met each other on the 21st of July 2004, when she was given as a normal household pet to Angel for her sixteenth birthday. It wasn’t till weeks later, Angel found out what Sayo really was, she was able to make herself into human or Neko. Sayo is mainly seen hiding out in the forest around Angel’s home in the outskirts; partying in the city with Candy/Muffin; or doing the usual runs for White Wolf ie shopping.
Appearance:
Sayo loves dyeing her hair wild colours sometimes, orange, blue, purple or red but its now back to its natural colour a dark brown, almost a shade of chocolate. Her eyes are a mysterious shade of brown when human and a very dark shade of orange or yellow when in her cat form. She has a very slender body and her bust is of 32DD, while her hips are sized 28, her legs are very lean and her feet are sized 4.
Personality:
Sayo is very much a go to girl, she loves adventures, enjoys company of others and spending time with Angelique and the family. Shes very talkative and sometimes has to shove her foot in her mouth to make her shut up. Shes very loyal and caring, always trying to help other’s in any way she can. Her best friend is Kiyoshi after the two met when he was in a little trouble after his siring. Although Sayo may seem young and act childish sometimes, she and Angel make a pretty good team when it comes to being responsibly.
